What is recorded here

Grave Yard holds sixty low, uninscribed markers beside Reglaish Church, overlooking Ballinskelligs Bay. They may have belonged to children, not adults, because they are small and clustered in the south portion. The bay still passes the graveyard like a witness, carrying what the stones stopped recording.

Reglaish Church / Reiclés, described in the OSNB as 'an abbey church' (Prior, 22), occupies the NW corner of a small disused graveyard (KE097-025001-) which measures 25m x 22m. It is situated in poor pasture and overlooks Ballinskelligs Bay to E. The S portion of the graveyard contains about sixty, low, uninscribed grave-markers, which probably relate to its use as a children's burial ground (KE097-025002-) in the nineteenth century (OSL). A poorly preserved enclosure (KE097-046----) is located immediately to W, outside of the graveyard wall The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1095. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 July 2013
